Updated January 2024
Let’s Play! is a free collection of stepwise braille and audio classical guitar lessons created through a collaboration between by Austin Classical Guitar and Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI).
This interactive curriculum includes both audio and braille files of lessons, as well as PDFs. The first few lessons are audio only, and the guitar teachers, Joseph Palmer and Jeremy Coleman, then introduce reading music in braille. The music is available in BRF and PDF formats for free, and embossed braille be purchased from Austin Classical Guitar.
The program includes instruction in how to tune your guitar, with a link to the Talking Tuner app.
The site is now available in both text and audio in Montenegrin for use in the Balkans.
